For the most part factory refurbs may be better than regular "A" goods.
They include items that were repaired after failing QA testing. These
units never left the factory, are usually better tested and are almost
always cosmetically perfect. Some units may be customer returns which
are checked out and repaired as needed. They may have some cosmetic damage.
